• A ‘Rich’ Reminiscence!

Richu.M.Shelly-Administrative Manager, IPSR Trivandrum branch, is full of praises and happiness on completing her first year at IPSR.She has infact sent a mail to tell us how happy she is working here at IPSR and to have completed one year here. This is what she had to say:

“This is a moment where pride, happiness and gratitude meets together...May 23....Today I complete 1 year of my work at ipsr....The first year of my first job....


Mr.Shiju Cherian is the one to whom I would like to express my first thanks as he is the one who offered me a place in ipsr family..His support and guidance have helped me a lot to improve myself and let go of my fears of my first job...

Dr.Mendus Jacob is a true administrator who knows the very pulse of his employees..His timely guidance and motivation is something I would always cherish close to my heart..From the moment I saw him leading Talent Genie to the present, he has always made me wonder about the way he manages everything with a cool and composed attitude....

I remember the day I walked into ipsr Kottayam for the joining formalities..I remember the warm and welcoming face of Ms.Nisha Annie Eapen who fed me in with a wonderful induction program...

The first steps of a co-ordinator are always important because that is where we learn to deal with people and I was lucky enough to get it from the super-woman of ipsr-Ms.Benila Mendus..The way she remembers the names and handles the clients have always impressed me and added flare to my job...

Brijesh Sir..Jayakrishnan Sir..Krishnaraj Sir..Arjun Sir..Sunil Job Sir..Shiju Alex Sir..Cherian Sir...Sijo Sir..Maurice Sir..Mojan Sir..Nibin Sir..Ms.Lakshmi..Thanks to all of them because they all have enlightened my way with valuable advices whenever I was stuck at point zero.

Nithin sir..Dileep Sir..Anitha Chechi..Beena Chechi..Remya Chechi..Bindu chechi..Ms.Reena..Rincy chechi..Lillikkutty chechi..Ms.Akhila..Shalu chettan..Raju chettan..Thanks to all those loving faces at ipsr,Kottayam....

Now-Team Trivandrum...who can forget one's own home????

Mr.Aneesh P.V-the man who redefined the 'BOSS' picture in my mind..He was a true guide, a wonderful mentor who amazed me with his dedication and sincerity for his work..There were hard days when the infant ipsr,Tvm had its share of falls..but the confidence and team spirit he provided all of us here can never be forgotten..The ownership he has for this centre has left me with a classic picture about how an employee should be faithful to the organisation he works for..

My colleagues here..An always energetic and vibrant group of youngsters..The spirit never dies down when you have such lively people surrounding you..!!!!

And my students---I love them!!!! The greatest happiness I obtained from this job is to see the satisfied smile of students as they leave ipsr after their courses..To see them get placed..To see them develop a wonderful attitude...And the testimonials they say with their heart...That is what made me love ipsr with all my heart...

I understand there might have been setbacks along my track...But one thing is sure..Last year was one of my greatest learning experiences of my life...I got a golden opportunity to interact with numerous people-who all taught me some different lesson-in dealing with people..

And today I thank God Almighty and my wonderful family for all the heavenly blessings they have showered on me...

ipsr is a place where you get to grow with the institution..As our motto says-redefining excellence..ipsr has really helped me redefine my life....

Thanks to all..Hope your support will be there with me in the days ahead too..

I seek your prayers and remember you all on this special and wonderful day..!!!  :-) "

Thanks for sharing your experience with us Richu.. Wishing all the very best!!
